Spray Day .......
This plant is a bit larger than the solo cup version I normally do , mostly because it’s a regular strain and some growth had to be done before it became sexually active ( sex ) from 12/12. Autos are a bit easy either on a host plant prior to preflower or in a solo after about 2 weeks of growth in cup. Autos take about 35 days to begin preflower , that is why I begin around week 2 or 3 Of growth.
Back to this
regular KKP strain. Again it was started in 12/ 12 from germ. It’s structure is different than under normal veg lighting but that is ok because she has one job ..... make beans !
Plant has sexed and now we begin.
I used a styro foam plate cut with a slit and hole to act as a COLLAR for spraying lower nodes. The area above collar will be the
flowering area to be pollinated once lower nodes start to throw pods. I target the node areas only . I am using SILVER MOUNTAIN
50 ppm Colloidal Silver suspension. I am also using an old Tiresas Mist spray bottle ( now
refilled with silver mountain ).
I do 2 applications PER DAY ( lights on and at lights off ) for “ approximately “ 10-21 days ..... sometimes it happens quickly , but will stop spraying once pods begin to form. Top cola area will continue normal bloom . Once pods begin to show that they might begin to split .... I pull plant out and finish it with a flouro lamp. Collar will then be placed on base of stalk ( to collect pollen if pods dump ) .
Once they do , I slip a large clear plastic bag over plant and shake plant within. Any left over pollen will be scraped / dried for storage in a small container , then stored. Once I feel I got an appropriate pollination........ I remove the remaining sacks from lowers ( leaving fans ) and spritz with water to null any remaining pollen.
Plant will continue BACK into Flowering lights for about the next 6 -8 weeks to mature seed growth.
And near that time any seed pods that are exposed and splitting , Collar goes back on below flower to catch any “ drops “.
